with. distressing new video emerging of police charging through. one minute past 4 pm here in the russian capital the final day old june a welcome to our to international my names you know neil. our top story this hour china has passed the controversial hong kong security law which has drawn ungar from western nations on within the region itself european union leaders are warning that the law puts hong kong's autonomy under threat. the slow rich seriously undermine the interest of high degree your fortune in your phone current into a detrimental effect on the independence of the traditional route of flu and we

troll this decision. well ahead of the law being passed the u.s. state department announced it was ending arms trading to hong kong with the commerce department of clearing a close to the cities preferential trade status as well leaders in beijing denounce the actions as foreign interference. when they do this is purely china's internal affairs and no foreign force has the right to interfere with the chinese government unswervingly determined to safeguard the sovereignty security and development interests of the country simplemente the principle of one country 2 systems and suppose an external interference in hong kong affairs. let's show you some of the reaction there was a new wave of demonstrations in hong kong as news of the law being passed filtered through dozens of pro beijing demonstrators rallied near hong kong government

headquarters to support the law on the left while more than $100.00 opponents gathered in a shopping mall chanting slogans including free hong kong. so what does it all the bug will the draft published earlier this month obliges china and hong kong to stop bush to national security bodies both accountable to beijing 4 types of crimes are listed under the new law which include secession subversion terrorism and pollution with external forces which could endanger national security. let's go live now to beijing and international affairs commentator victor gao who is the chair professor at china's sue chow university victor welcome back to the program good to have you this law the timing of it it's been passed on the eve of the anniversary of the british handover of hong kong to china how significant how much does not play into what beijing is saying here. well this national security law enacted for hong

kong is a milestone in hong kong and will serve the purpose of men to need stability and making sure that the one country 2 system can continue to thrive up to 2047 we've seen the turmoil and the violence and the attack on rule of law in hong kong over the past one year and you can see very clearly there have been very obvious for ring finger prints in the tamo in hong kong and this is exactly this national security law is aimed about that is anti subversion anti treason for example and making sure that the one country 2 system is fully abided by and to have it in acted on the eve of the anniversary the 23rd anniversary of the transfer of sovereignty back for a u.k. to china is even more significant and this will be very highly recorded in history of hong kong and i truly believe peace and stability will prevail in hong kong from

tomorrow and any political force which really wants to use whole force used as a platform to threaten china sovereignty and national security interest we need to have 2nd thoughts before the indulge in the stupid activities but a lot of the protests are of course they were from hong kong as themselves people who felt that their freedoms were being eroded do you know see those protests continue or will people simply give up the fight and perhaps move away vote with their feet and leave the region we saw financial institutions perhaps moving to singapore because they feel as if they don't have the security they need either. well hong cause or democracy and the hong kong lawfully protects the people's right to protest and demonstrate if they are legal and lawful if anyone in hong kong engages in. and illegal protests and demonstrations deal with both with the law of

hong kong other than the national security interest law of china adopted for hong kong itself now hong kong people also have the freedom of freely moving around from hong kong to any part of the world to all back from any part of the wall back to hong kong and it also applies to the free flow of money and therefore all this would not be affected if anyone who wants to leave hong kong for any other part of the world be my guest ok and if any company or for leisure has to do she want to move money in od of hong kong be my guest it will not be interrupted by the national security law adopted today the details are yet to be published. but this you mention that the one country 2 systems principle how will that be possible if if this is an across the board measure how can that make sense.

well 1st of all ever since july the 1st 19 on the 7 hong kong has been governed by the basic law in the basic law there is an article 23 which very clearly stipulates that hong kong should adopt a national security law now we know for sure for the last 23 years no such thing as a slew of the 2 of work has been successful it has been blocked as caused by political forces in hong kong with foreign intervention and this leaves china with no other option but to adopt the national security of law by the standing committee of the national people's congress and amend the basic law to such an extent so that in hong kong there there is no pick loophole in terms of defending the national security interest of china so i think it will not change the

fundamentals in hong kong or talk if people are law abiding if they observe the rule of law they will conduct their businesses and conduct their lives as normal and thank you the op yeah victor we've got to believe they're running right on time victor gao to chair a professor of china's university thank you. thank you. moving on the campaign to topple statues of figures linked with historical racism has landed a 20 year old american student in court on vandalism charges he's one of 4 accused of trying to tear down a statue in washington of 19th century president under jackson over his role in forcing indigenous tribes off their land donald trump has since promised to issue a special order to protect monuments such as her another american president will theodore roosevelt also saw a protest on sunday except this time it was a gathering to protest it after a new york's national history museum decided to remove the controversial monument

on its entrance the bronze of roosevelt is flanked by a native american and an african man on was criticized by some for glorifying colonialism big questions are being asked worldwide on how best to remember our past and whether hiding history good or bad is the best simulation germany believes it may have the answer is peter all over the reports when it comes to assessing and dealing with difficult periods of history germany has more experience than most but we haven't seen the type of scenes here that have played out in the united states britain belgium.

bullet germany isn't without its own controversial statues otto von bismarck has been dogged with red paint in hamburg while is an ongoing campaign to block the renovation of another monument to the chancellor. the port city bismarck wasn't just crucial in german unification he was also a driving force in colonialism and by today's standards an anti semite here in berlin selangor district anime 1920 s. depiction of a needling black woman was decapitated last week hasim and remains controversial in germany he was a committed nazi and despite that fact his works continue to be displayed across the german capital this particular monument had been slated for removal by city authorities who'd already deemed it earlier this year on suitable for display in

the city of berlin and if it had diverse society cannot exist with this kind of bigotry and prejudice you cannot live together if you do not treat each other equally people shouldn't be discriminated against based on the color of their skin so what happens to start choosing germany that no longer justify exhibition well here in berlin they've got just the place for them the spandau citadel although the 16th century fortress has its own troubled past it was used as a chemical weapons storage by the nazis might look at it as the proposal was to bring you to a museum to show it was an example of racism these mistakes are not repeated this racial stereotype should not be demonstrated on the streets but in a museum where we could demonstrate to people with encountered slick's as we move through the exhibition we see hundreds of years of prussian military strongman into monuments of naziism the 3rd reich didn't really do sculpture but they stick

casually to his one a few described by hitler as irreplaceable the nazis preferred buildings as their monuments to time and there's plenty of those still visible in modern berlin. one of the most i can change in this collection of discarded statues is. this gigantic granite head of blood to me at lennon it's all that remains of a 19 high monument that was built in 1970 to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth. in the united states and also in great britain there are discussions in the moment about what to do with dismantle memorials but here we have already found 2 possible solutions for memorials that are so to speak toxic if you put them in a museum that doesn't mean it's over we put them here so that people can continue to pay attention to them but in a different context germany is often cited as the example to follow when it comes

to assessing periods of history troubling to modern sensibilities even if there are 2 named after nazi field marshall when rubble that the german military calls home to this day they glossed over as they don't face the particular narrative because history has a tendency not to be as neat as we might like it when it's really examined peter r.t. berlin. bring you to france you know the latest rally by french health workers is under way in horace live images right you know. carnival atmosphere right now as you're seeing as people move down the street a great mass as well all of people we saw a number of weeks ago around 100000 plus health workers came out onto the streets it looks as if the unions are evening for even higher than that indeed what is happening right now in paris is one of many planned nationwide this choose day

let's go to the city to our correspondent charlotte dubin ski who is there for us sure just bring us up to date remind us why french medical staff are buckeye to all to the streets again today. they've been coming out most tuesdays leaving them these days to make sure the government is aware of how unhappy they are about this situation that this isn't a problem 7 that's resulted into from the pandemic it could be 19 cond that make this is a problem that has been all new going for many many years in france in fact before the curve at 19 pandemic we were speaking to doctors and nurses to a consistent be telling us that their service was on the point of collapse that it needs to to have a huge influx of cash each recruit more health workers and they themselves needed to be paid to move money out of the incentives it's been listing and then the

serious results are to make as we just said that's it i'm going to skip past as a result of the pandemic exult you know we know that extra strain was put on the health workers the to manage time that they moved working that in fact the government said it was recognizing this so much so they started a consultation on the features of the health service informed about what it needs in the final government is due to release the results of that in the next few days as we're going to kill line a we know the president has said that health workers will be paid more we just come to know exactly how much more they'll be case i don't know whether the offering from the government will be enough that we know that the work is you've come out to get to this for just not just him paris but there are nationwide protests taking place to get to save the world so much more one union is even suggested there should be an abolition of taxes for health workers if also called for an end for

any stoppages in terms of any banks being closed down any future hospitals being closed down they say that shouldn't be the case and they want to see all move beds being reopened to once more as well as that increase in salaries on the recognition for they would we know that the unions feel that they need to continue puts. the pressure on the government to make sure that they get what they want to mean i've heard from one reporter that there's about 6 believe you said to be injected mean she health industry but some unions say what they need is actually more like 14000000000 euros see a really big gap between what apparently is on the table and what unions say they need but the housework is not angry they feel is safe they've done an incredibly hard work not just normally but particularly given the kind of it 19 content make and they want to make sure that there is maximum pressure and that maximum pressure continues to be put on the government until they get what they want. health

workers rolly parceling charlie. still ahead try to keep the wheels turning in the u.s. presidential election during a democrats push for postal voting in the latest primary polls is getting the republicans who claim it's open to voting for the story broken done for you after the break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

the primary purpose of history is to understand the past as a guide to understanding the present and future. because a lot of history is facing and changed so how should we find the right balance is that you saw the light. come back to the program a block lines motor march in detroit turned violent after a police vehicle sped away through a crowd of protesters who had surrounded the car and smushed

a window but police chiefs launched an investigation stating that the officers will remain on duty were about to show graphic image of the incident as officers forcibly tried to get away in their s.u.v. . on the wrist still deep seated anger towards officers in some cases is preventing them from the. job record early retirements have been seen as well in the past number of months this video shows new york police having glass bottles thrown at them while responding to a call of shots being fired the city's largest police union said the mayor and city council speaker should be held responsible for surrendering the city. missouri this armed couple emerged in front of their munchen locked and loaded pointing their

weapons at b.l.m. protesters who had entered a private street they were believed to be marching towards the home of st louis preuss. her to quit after she publicly read out the names and addresses of people calling for police reform. lotty war activists are a flowing dish from the international action center believes the current unrest in the u.s. is no surprise it's rooted in the history of the nation. well the violence has gone on from there for founding in the very beginning. the united states i mean this is a country built on slavery and the genocide of the indigenous people so the violence is the only route how long this upsurge will go on. i think everyone who is taking part in it can only hope that it continues and goes on and on and goes deeper and see how widespread it is and the see what this confrontation

is this growing complication is extremely serious. willis's helping as the us democratic primary elections are into a key stage 3 states are about to hold their ballots with 2 of them fully geared up for postal voting to reduce footfall in polling stations during the pun demick mail in ballots they rival republicans worried they think it will ultimately cost them presidential votes come november because of the potential for fraud been looking at the political division over what should simply be a safer way to vote. the pandemic turned democratic primary of the united states into a mess many new yorkers say that voting was a nightmare today some people never got their absentee ballots and others waited in line for hours long lines missing ballots and locked doors as election officials struggled to keep up with turnout new york and 4 other states faced a challenging day of voting on tuesday long lines delays and confusion across new

york city voters were given incomplete and in correct balance confusion in voting stations and fears that the elderly may not risk going out in order to vote has caused the democrats to push mail in ballots as an alternative this becomes a health issue local mail is that more democratic tickets people more options that removes obstacles and barriers to voting which is what we want to do voting by here at home but there appear to be some pretty big problems with this magical solution . voting on the other hand will lead to the most corrupt election in usa history bad things happen with mail ins just look at the special election in paterson new jersey 19 percent of ballots a fraud donald trump never hesitates to take a swing at the democrats but if you look into the facts he may be on to something and last week 4 democrats in new jersey were arrested for illegal possession of mail in ballots video has already surface to campaign materials being dumped into

the garbage in texas and the postal workers union is not shy about where it will stand when it comes in november. donald trump's policies have made it abundantly clear that he is a serious threat to our decent postal jobs oh unions and so the rights of the people to a public postal service joe biden has committed to support the postal service and its dedicated postal workers our union will continue to help build the movement to defend the public postal service and win a more just society meanwhile trump supporters are concerns that the mail in ballots may be used to freak the vote against them come november militia groups are already floating ideas about what to do if they don't like the election results if there's evidence that the vote was rigged to manipulate it i consider that grounds for open rebellion we'll take our arms and our counsel and reclaim this country and our rights if you try to do this at the ballot box and it doesn't work you go to

the bullets and thank the united states loves to go around the world criticizing countries claiming that their electoral system and voting process is illegitimate however many look at the democratic primary in the voting so far in 2020 and say it's a bit of that disaster and many are quite worried about what might happen in november at the heart of the debate is really is that the democrats. need east year on and you open up the ad and there's more people built and nationally that's better than the democrats. the republicans on the other hand the that there's so much voter fraud going on that a small number of people she. was and that actually is in the interest so you want your vote to count on calling curse you know to i think us that

most ups are like the full truth way that you know what american citizen are really a country it's complete. the best way to vote is going to the polling site and phony and there's. a lot here's where we leave our broadcasting from moscow for the day but the news keeps rolling up the top of the hour from london r t you k. picks up the model in iran and ours. i mean you know me i'm from a team i'm myself good bye for now.
